[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The color-coded system based on self-reported data is complete garbage. I’m an open-schooler but agree there are two scenarios to go virtual. Number 1 they are missing too many staff. In that case go virtual only as long as necessary until you get staff back. Maybe that’s 4 days maybe it’s 10. It will be school specific. Second, there may be concerning outbreaks at some schools (cough sports teams). In that case send the team home, or send the grade home, or if it crosses grades maybe on the advice of the health department close the school. It doesn’t need to be 14 days though. 5 days then test to return would be fine. These second scenarios should be rarer. The color system is a blunt instrument based on bad data. No scientist would support decisions being made as important as whether to close a school based on such garbage data. [/quote]

Garbage data and the baseline should be 0 cases starting this morning not the positives over break.[/quote]

Yes. At the very least if they have to use this color coded system everybody starts today in green and then add cases preferably from verified sources so you are comparing apples to apples. The current system is comparing apples to elephants. There’s no way Roscoe Nix has 1 case or whatever they have and Kensington Parkwood has 29. The data is bad. You don’t make decisions based on bad data. It’s insane. [/quote]
